Monaco Yacht Charters: What to See and Do

Featured as the backdrop of some of Hollywood’s most prominent films, Monaco is as enchanting as it is quaint. Barely a square mile in size, this city-state is bordered on three sides by France and one side by the Mediterranean Sea.

Unlike other palaces of its era, which were ornately decorated in typical Renaissance or Baroque fashion, the Prince’s Palace classic facades and medieval fortifications. Today, it stands adjacent to Monaco’s main cathedral, creating a striking contrast to the cathedral’s neo-Byzantine ornamentation and majestic infrastructure.

Oceanographic Museum of Monaco Inaugurated in 1910, the Oceanographic Museum is one of Europe’s most revered aquariums – housed in truly stunning building. The museum – built in the Baroque Revival style, and built directly into a seaside cliff – features a stunning array of marine exhibits, including multiple aquariums featuring Mediterranean flora and fauna.
